Steed and Tara investigate the bizarre deaths of several former military officers that Steed once served alongside. Their only clues are jigsaw pieces found on the body of each corpse. While Steed checks out a jigsaw manufacturer, Tara assembles the puzzle, which eventually reveals a picture of a country house. Tracing the location of the manor, Steed and Tara discover that the murders are part of a revenge planned by a man that the officers once court-martialled; he is using his love of games to force his victims to play life-scaled games tailored to their profession - with death as the reward. Unable to save his colleagues, Steed is forced to play the final game of ‘Super Secret Agent’ in order to rescue Tara from suffocating inside a giant hourglass…
